So are you getting a 7970 ?




I was going to, but with my board down I am out of the hunt for the foreseable future, sucks as I wanted to make a run at the top 100 in the league ......... no body seems to know anything about the 06 debug here or any other forums ??? calling Asus tonight when I get home, praying they can help as I can't justify investing in this platform again and sandy-e is not all that and rediculosly expensive ATM

Older cards are great, but with only one winner for each card it makes little difference in the big picture for team boints, baring a huge jump. The big deal with this revision is deversity, they claim this is to help smaller teams and sharing, but larger teams with a more deversified hardware base still have a huge advantage What are they thinking .......

The new rev makes the GPU strength list obsolete. I will have to start a new HPP's list to include hardware that has not been benched by our team yet. But truth be told big Al is on it. AMD is our weakest area in this reguard.

You will get hardware points but we roll as a team around here. The 7970? Well again it's who's got the money and has the best chips to run it. Anything after that are just user hardware points. They really did mess it up.
Completely agree, benching for global or decent hardware points does not at the end give you the satisfaction that getting team points gives.
